Rollerblades

By: Gabriela Yareliz

Where did all the rollerblades go? Did someone kidnap them all and bury them? Did they disappear with Toys-R-Us? Did the manufacturing center go bankrupt or burn down?

We used to rollerblade so much on the 90s. Why is this not a hobby anymore? And don’t tell me it’s because too many people broke an arm or something, because more people broke arms with scooters, and I still see those everywhere. Every time I see a grown man on a scooter, I cringe.

Do we bring rollerblades back? What is the social temperature on this? And do we care what the social temperature is? Hmmm…
